Only 17% of eggs derived from rhi^KG00910/rhi⁰²⁰⁸⁶ females have two wild-type dorsal appendages. 88% of embryos derived from these females have wild-type appendages if the females are fed caffeine.

50% of eggs laid by homozygous females are wild type, others have dorsal appendage defects. A weak "dumpless" phenotype, in which the nurse cells fail to transfer their contents to the oocyte is also seen in 11% of cases. 15% of eggs laid by rhi^2-S18/rhi⁰²⁰⁸⁶ females are wild type, others have dorsal appendage defects. rhi⁰²⁰⁸⁶/rhi^2-L12 egg chambers have normal nurse cell chromatin morphology up to stage S5, but only 11% have normal nurse cell chromatin morphology at other stages. 58% of the egg chambers have a persistant five-lobed chromatin phenotype. 7% of egg chambers are degenerating and 4% have an abnormal number of nurse cells.

Eggs laid are shorter than wild type and the dorsal appendages are fused.
